Council approves Silver Road reconstruction and shared‑use path; ODOT grant and TIF to fund project
Summary
Council authorized advertising and contracting for reconstruction of Silver Road and a shared‑use path on Venture Boulevard; project estimated at $1,175,000 with $250,000 from an ODOT Jobs and Commerce grant and remainder funded by TIF dollars.
Wooster City Council on Monday approved Resolution 2025‑38 to advertise and enter into a contract for reconstruction of a portion of Silver Road and construction of a shared‑use path on Venture Boulevard.
Administration said the project covers Silver Road between Venture Boulevard and Mechanicsburg Road and a shared‑use path along Venture Boulevard from Clear Creek Park to Silver Road. The project was estimated to cost about $1,175,000. Administration advised council that $250,000 of funding for the project will come from an ODOT Jobs and Commerce grant already secured; the remainder will be paid from TIF dollars tied to local development.
Council voted to adopt the resolution to begin the bidding process so engineering staff have time to obtain and review bids. Council members expressed mild disappointment that illustrative color renderings were not available at the meeting but proceeded with the vote.
